I Can Only Imagine

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE

You brought me into this world

So long ago

You nourished, cared and soothed my soul and taught me to love as never before.

You watched me grow and stumble and fall,

You showed me how to love,

in spite of it all.

( ref.)

I can only imagine

What you could teach me now

The loving, you showed then,

Is even more now.

For it must be so awesome

To stand in Gods love.

I can only imagine

That great day to come.

Now, I'm grown and missing you still.

With a wife and my children, I struggle to get by.

But I lean on those lessons

from so long ago

To love them always,

No matter how far.

(ref.)

Now, my time is approaching

I heard someone say.

My children are with me as we all silent pray.

That love that you taught me,

So very long ago,

Now rests in them, near my time to go.
